{"product_id":"papoose-sitka-spruce","title":"Papoose Sitka Spruce","description":"The Papoose Sitka Spruce gives you evergreen color and shape in a slower-growing form that is easier to enjoy over time. Its sharp, two-tone blue-green needles bring cool color and crisp texture to the landscape in every season. In late spring, clusters of buds open at the branch tips and create blossom-like bursts of fresh foliage, giving you a softer, more detailed look just when the garden is picking up speed. With only 3–6\" of growth a year, a dense habit when young and a tight broad upright form with age, this is an evergreen that offers strong presence without feeling unruly. Full sun performance, Zone 5 hardiness and considered deer resistance add even more everyday value. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeeps the Landscape Looking Finished All Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePapoose Sitka Spruce gives your garden a steady visual anchor when other plants come and go with the seasons. Its blue-green needles hold color through the year, helping the landscape feel fuller and more complete even when flowering plants are not at their peak. The two-tone effect also adds depth, so the plant brings more interest than a flat green evergreen. For you, that means stronger contrast, better texture and a garden that keeps its shape in every season. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdds Seasonal Detail Without Relying on Blooms\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLate spring brings one of this plant’s most appealing moments. Clusters of buds open at the branch tips and create blossom-like bursts of foliage that soften the look of the tree and add a fresh layer of interest. This gives you a clear seasonal change while keeping the lasting value of an evergreen. It is an easy way to add variety to the garden without depending on a short bloom window. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOffers Structure with Less Worry Over Time\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause Papoose Sitka Spruce grows just 3–6 inches a year, it is easier to manage and simpler to fit into the landscape for the long run. Its dense, globose habit when young gives you a full look early, then it develops a tight, broad upright form with age for added structure. Full sun and Zone 5 hardiness make it dependable, and its considered deer resistance adds another useful advantage for many gardeners.","brand":"Spring Hills Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51581253517608,"sku":"15762","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5784\/1448\/files\/15762.webp?v=1774366092","url":"https:\/\/springhillnursery.com\/products\/papoose-sitka-spruce","provider":"Spring Hill Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
